>I work remotely, meaning face-to-face conversations are out of the question.

Zoom? Phone calls? You choose to use a recorded form of communication, but there are options. That said, if your goal is to intentionally hide information from use in a future lawsuit, there are easier ways to decrease your business's liability that don't run the same risks.

> If I point it out, the business schedules it to be handled in a quarter or two, and they get hacked in the meantime then my chat message is on the record as evidence that the business was aware of the problem and "did nothing".

You example about nobody wanting you to point this out because that creates liability is an error. The liability arguably already exists because the business should have known of the issue and did not. A policy of not reporting security issues because they fear lawsuits makes things much worse, making it potentially rise to recklessness. So you not telling the company about it on purpose, if that's a part of the culture of the company, is likely worse than you telling the company and having them make a reasonable assessment of risk and resource allocation. That's not "doing nothing" from a legal standpoint. Whether their decision was reasonable under the circumstances is one thing but it's usually not random people on the street evaluating this.

By the way, this has nothing to do with chat. Why do you think many companies routinely do security evaluations? It's not because consumers care. If your example is true companies would do better to not have security at all.

Finally with this, even if it were better for the company not to report it would be worse for you not to report.

>Requiring recording of all communications just encourages the business to not communicate internally, leading to the exact same problems recording was supposed to prevent.

Courts don't do that, though. Businesses decide to use recorded communication, much the same way they did when the law was created and distance was an issue.

> It would be legally preferable to ship a product full of issues the business is unaware of than to ship a product with a single issue that the business is on record knowing about

That's not necessarily true, but even if it is it wouldn't be preferable from a commerce standpoint. This isn't business in a legal vacuum.

I'm quite proficient in German and English, but still translating is astonishing hard, even into my mother tongue Spanish. The translation always sounds weird. I'm always in awe at great translations.

When I read translated texts (or watch dubbed films) I always catch false friends or awkward translations, and I "see" the original through the translation like it was a leaky abstraction. It's so tricky even the pros make a lot of mistakes.

Not all players got this banner, especially players from countries where they cannot sign up for PSN accounts.

They never should have allowed sales in countries where people cannot legally sign up for a PSN account. Especially when they allowed those players to play for months and are now "banning" them, preventing them from playing the game they paid for.

In addition, literally the only place where this requirement was stated was the steam sale page - the EULA had no mention of the PSN account, Sony's webpage explicitly stated you did not require an account to play playstation games on PC.
The article's presentation of the James-Stein estimator sets the arbitrary point at the origin. (My previous comments should be read in this context). Of course, we could set it anywhere, including [42,...]. Let's call it p. Regardless of where you set it, the estimator suggests that your best estimate û, of the mean μ, should be nudged a little away from x and towards p.

My point is that the choice of 'p' (or, in the article's presentation, the choice of origin) cannot truly be arbitrary because if it reduces the expected squared difference between μ and û, then it necessarily contains information about μ. If all you truly know about μ is x and σ, then you will have no way to guess in which direction you should even shift your estimate û to reduce that error.

If you do have some additional information about μ, beyond just x alone, then sure, take advantage of it! But then don't call it a paradox.

When I open that page, it says:

How do you draw that conclusion from that page?

The competitors were too cheap to have any feature, usually they had a big play button, a next and previous button and that's pretty much it.

The settings were usually pretty poor on those mp3 players, on mine you had a microphone mode, language, timezone, some shuffle configuration and that's pretty much it.

The iPod did look much much better and refined but in terms of simplicity, it's hard to beat the single play button of an mp3 player which doesn't know to do anything else. Those things were designed like appliance more than tech products.

There will also be numerous niche markets. Where a few (maybe just 1 or 2) go-to specialists operate. You talk to them, and they will build your [product that didn't exist].

For you that product may seem "new". To those specialists, it may seem like variant #59 on something they've done for ages.

Bottom line: "doesn't-exist-yet" is subjective & may be taken with a grain of salt. As an indicator: would the concept be obvious, or non-obvious to an expert in that field?
I think the difference in emotional responses you and I have is largely dependent on the backstory that we are filling in.

I'm more biased to believe or assume a malicious or incompetent tenant, and you are more inclined to assume a malicious landlord.

You think they are being blindsided, and I think they've been given a minimum of 2 months notice. There are no facts about the reason for non-renewal in the article. Maybe the tenant is knocking holes in the walls or the owner is moving in.

Like I said, our differences is probably colored by our experiences. I've seen people making 200k a year extort 50K cash for keys simply because they can and it's cheaper than an eviction. I've seen other tenants demand similar amounts to move out because they are doing 100K of damage per year and they know it's cheaper to pay them off.

RCT study of effect of ChatGPT on a large online course
I think there is a tendency to overcomplicate things, and human nature is such that most of the time colleagues don’t bother to update records properly. That’s the real-world experience CRM salespeople won’t tell you.

What also happens is that we have all these CRM tools in parallel with these “godawful workflow management” systems.

Theoretically there is a productivity gain, sure, but senior executives don’t make use of these tools, they hire a PA. The implementation of these CRM systems is usually done really really badly.

> We are doomed.

Doubt it. Any disruption will probably be two orders of magnitude less than the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most systems (like self driving cars or payments) will be 64-bit and unaffected. Anything critical still running 32-bit will be on these kinds of debian distros or NetBSD or whatever. The stuff that breaks will mostly be flashing-VCR-time impacts that can be worked around (timestamps on security cameras may wrap around to 1970 and be impossible to set to the correct date, but the cameras should still continue working).

There may be stupid companies that go bankrupt because all their devices fail hard and they get sued out of existence, but that kind of impact happens all the time. Just looking at something like the list of largest trading losses in banks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trading_losses

The economy has a very large capacity for dumbassery. Most hard failures will just be Keynesian stimulus for their competitors. Any hard failures that result in losses to the customers (e.g. stores robbed because security cameras down) will get absorbed by insurance -- and really they're already getting robbed so much by smash and grabs with stolen vehicles I doubt it matters.

I value DEI as a critical part of addressing systemic injustice and building a strong, multifaceted organization.

However, these statement requirements look like absolute trash. The sort of thing that is wholly performative. Frankly, it's good they are being dropped in my view.

> is evidenced by their using the term as a synonym for authoritarianism.

You can't deny the fact though that all socialist (or what people from beyond the pond like to call "communist") countries turned towards authoritarianism on their "journey" of eventually achieving communism (even if some of those countries might have started off with the best intentions to actually improve things). And it happened with such regularity that it cannot be explained away with "no true scotsman (pardon: communist)" arguments.

"Too many SKUs tend to be correlated with lack of polish and attention to detail."

So true. Back a decade ago, Nokia had an enormous amount of SKUs. The firmwares were usually crap, and even the hardware was often subpar. You were obviously not expected to keep the same Symbian smartphone for 5+ years, with the possible exception of the Communicator.

Blackberry, on the other hand, had much fewer SKUs and much better quality.

this is a fantastic demo! just to nitpick, though, it's really the plasma between the sausage and the antenna that's making the sound; the plasma heats up regardless of which direction the current was flowing, so you don't need a 'detector' converting ac to dc as you do in a conventional radio. for fillings the most likely explanation is a parasitic schottky rectifier accidentally formed from a metal oxide, rather than such a resistive phenomenon (though it's not impossible)

Yes, that’s what I think off when I see ansible, not that it actually is a lisp. It’s a poor hack for something you can trivially do with lisp since forever. Like most of these things and indeed Greenspuns rule says we will find that; you need the solution for something complicated so you start building something simple, add more features and end up with something you should’ve done in lisp from the start. And of course now you miss most (all) of the benefits.

There is, but there's definitely some similarities too. Specifically that if you happen to believe in these things, advancement of their goals is one of the most important things you can do, which causes a big temptation to misappropriate institutional power to further the cause.

Regarding the pledges specifically, both require employees to take personal positions to advance at work, which I think is the part blackhawkC17 finds "culty".
